Our program chairperson, Jean Freeman, introduced our special guest, Scott Barrett. Scott is Worship Leader at Eagles Landing First Baptist Church.

Included were: “I’ve Got the World on a String,” “I Can’t Help Falling in love with You,” “Unforgettable,” “Love Lifted Me,” and “What a Day That Will Be.” Thank you, Scott, for taking time out of your busy schedule to bless us. Jean Freeman read John 13:34-35. She reminded us that the greatest love of all is the love that God has for you and me.

News from the Library: This month we would like to highlight two books: (these books will be located in front of the library window unless they have been borrowed) Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God – The Story of the Author of My Utmost for His Highest by David McCasland. You know him as the author of the famous devotional book. This book “brings him vividly alive as a real person, a spiritual leader who died all too soon.” John Pollock, Biographer Bridge to Haven by Francine Rivers. This work of fiction is about the hottest rising star to hit the silver screen since Marilyn Monroe. Few know the price she’s paid to finally feel like she’s somebody. She discovers too late that fame comes at a devastating price. Come read her story. Please come by the library and borrow these books or take time to peruse the shelves for other books you would like to read. Our door is always open to you. Thank you to those of you that have donated books. We deeply appreciate your willingness to share your books with others. If you have suggestions of other books/authors you would like to see added to the collection, please let us know.

Keep on reading Liberty Hill! Christine Harris,

Librarian Pam Fowler,

Asst. Librarian

Pastor’s March "Beacon” Article:

As we begin a new month here at Liberty Hill,

I would like to thank my wonderful church for

a great first year. March 6 marks our one-year

anniversary at LHBC and it has been one to

remember. I am so excited about what God is

doing to bring us together as a church and same

His mission accomplished for His glory!

There are some great things ahead for us as we

look to this month and beyond. Speaking of looking ahead, I would like

to draw your attention to our new Video announcement boards posted

throughout the facilities. They will be bringing you news and tidbits each

week to keep you posted of some upcoming happenings at LHBC. Thank

you to those who contributed these wonderful tools. We also have new

front doors on our church. These doors are a welcomed addition to our

efforts to reach the community for Jesus. Once again, thank you to those

who helped make this possible.

I want to give you an encouraging word as I close my article today,

Jesus told us to encourage one another and build each other up (I Thess.

5:11). Take a moment to pray for someone in our church today. Make a

phone call to encourage someone. You will never know the eternal

difference it can make.

Encouraged by you,

Chris
